The Royal Parks Foundation Half Marathon has announced Jarlsberg as event sponsor at this year’s race on 8th October.

According to the brand, Jarlsberg will use the partnership to communicate to the running community that cheese can be part of a healthy diet  

The Jarlsberg Big Cheese Melt Van will also be in attendance at the event so runners and their families can sample some of the brand’s cheese recipes.

Eleanor Viita, corporate partnerships manager of The Royal Parks Foundation, said: “We are absolutely delighted to partner with Jarlsberg.  The Food and Fitness Festival has increased in size year on year so we are excited to have one of the most popular cheese brands in the UK sampling their delicious range at this year’s event.

Lisa Harrison, brand manager for Jarlsberg added: “We are delighted to be the official Food Festival Partner for 2017. Jarlsberg is the perfect snack for pre and post training. We also recommend that runners can add it to meals and enjoy Jarlsberg as part of a healthy diet and active lifestyle.”

The Royal Parks Foundation Half Marathon will celebrate its tenth year this year when 16,000 runners take to the streets and parks of the capital on Sunday 8th October for the 2017 instalment of the event.  The 13.1mile route takes runners through four of London’s eight Royal Parks, namely Hyde Park, The Green Park, St James’s Park and Kensington Gardens.
